My name is Butch Cassidy!

Meet Butch Cassidy !!
Him and his two brothers are part of our Outlaw Litter. They are some of the sweetest dogs we’ve taken in!! Really amazing dogs. (His brothers are posted separately)
As a rescue we would like to politely request that breeders stop “doodling” everything 😫 These sweet dogs are overbred for profit but end up almost dying in shelters way too often.
Butch is an approx 3 year old, male Basset Hound and Poodle mix. He weighs 44 pounds. He is low, long and solid. “Doodles” ARE NOT HYPOALLERGENIC!! This is a common misconception with the doodle craze. They generally have a mixed hair type of both parents.
He is already neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He is thankfully Heartworm negative.
Butch is an awesome family dog. He has a super sweet and loving personality. He loves to crawl up in your lap and give you hugs. He’s a very good boy. He loves attention and is very friendly toward everyone.
He is a huge cuddle bug and very easy to have in the house. He’s doing very well with all of his house manners.
Butch does great with other dogs of all sizes. He recently spent a week in a home with a cat and he was not aggressive at all to the cat. He did at times try to play with the cat but the cat was not amused by this. He is fostered with kids and does really well with them. He’s a big lover all around.
He is crate trained but he can have a little separation anxiety and whine when he first goes in his kennel or if he sees his favorite person and can’t get to them. He rides well in the car. He is doing fairly well on the leash but is still learning. He’s done fabulous with his potty training. So far we have seen no issues with him sharing food, treats or toys with humans or other dogs.
Butch recently went to a home without a fence and just could not figure out to go potty on the leash. With a fenced area to potty in he is great about potty training. Without one he does not do well.
He has a medium energy level so far. He has bursts of energy, loves to run in the yard and will play with others but isn’t overwhelming with his exercise needs. As long as he gets some exercise each days he’s very relaxed. He mostly loves to cuddle and snuggle.
His foster had this to say about him: “ He is the biggest sweetheart and just wants to snuggle and be loved.”
Overall he’s a really good boy that is ready for his new family to love.
